CSS Margin
CSS Margin can be used to manipulate the space around an HTML element.
The below div have absolutely no margin on it.
No margin
If we add 10 pixels margin:
10px margin
As you can see, the CSS: .my_div { margin:10px; } adds 10 pixels of margin on ALL sides of the element. This includes the top AND bottom, left AND right, so be careful when positioning elements and calculating widths. A 10px margin on an element makes it 20 pixels wider, and 20 pixels higher.
